You mean her school number? She goes to Elbridge Preparatory Academy, a private school in Colonial City.

TJ goes to Patrick Henry elementary school, which is public -- because it's an excellent school and is walking distance, and Abby went there, mom and dad see no reason to send him to private school until he hits middle school.

Not what I was referring to. PS238 is set in a world with many supers. Of these, so many have the same power template (Flight, Invulnerability, Super Strength) that this power set has become ... deprecated through commonality. F.I.S.S. Heroes (as they are now known) have even gotten to the point where many of them don't even try to create a brand for themselves, they are just registered and assigned a number (in increasing sequence). They are the 'spear carriers' or 'grunts' of the super world, and many look down on them -- although the first examples of this type were among the legends of their kind by virtue of being the first.

There's one character, a little girl attending PS238, who has decided she is not going to let other people devalue her heroism just because her power set isn't as flashy or uncommon as some. "Number 84" went so far as to take her number and make it her superhero name. She's proud of what she is, what she can do, and has, in fact, galvanized and invigorated the FISS community to stand up for themselves and not let the other super types label them. I think it's a great little storyline, if you're not familiar with it, although Number 84 is not the principal protagonist of the overall webcomic.

Anyway, I didn't know if you had read the webcomic or not. If you had, since Abby is a FISS, I was wondering what her number was. ^_^

In this world, those powers are no more common than any other set. So far of the heroes we have seen on-screen, she is the only one with those powers. Liberty Man had two of the three (he couldn't fly). Miss Vector is force fields. Dr. Synapse is psionics. Wind Reader is arrows/martial arts. Luminaire is light.

One other hero has been mentioned but not shown - Titanos, of Gamma Force. His main power is growth (he can become ~30 feet tall). With that comes strength and some damage resistance, though based on what was said by Homewrecker in #2, he is not as strong nor as tough as Abby.

Titanos is a member of Gamma Force (actually a Champions hero group my friends and I played). None of the others have been mentioned yet but one is a gadgeteer, one is a martial artist, one has powered armor, one has mind powers, and one has sonic powers.

So of all the heroes mentioned in this world, Abby is the only one with 'FISS'.

I also want to point out that her power technically isn't really Invulnerability, but Damage Resistance. She's highly resistant to damage (Dr. Synapse, who scanned her, reported this exact term to Liberty Man in issue 2) not completely invulnerable to all forms of harm.

In fact we're going to see some of the limits of her powers in the next story arc.

If she's a fast-change artist, she could get out of this with the kid brother none the wiser. His facial expressions thus far tell me he may not really be very observant.

But then again, girls who can change and redo their hair very quickly may be pretty rare creatures. Don't forget to take off the glasses and hide the boots, young lady!

If for nothing else, this'll teach her to not get sucked into the trap of dialoging with badguys; it just wastes time, which only helps the badguy and gives people a chance to figure out your secret identity. :O

Fortunately for her, if her universe is anything at all like that of Batman/Superman/etc. all non-supers are extremely gullible, and will believe absolutely any explanation you give them to cover your secret id, no matter how contrived or implausible it is, and no matter how many times you've had to give these odd explanations previously! Amazingly, this works just as well even if the person hearing the implausible explanation is a professional detective, cop, or investigative reporter who you would normally expect to be rather a skeptic. Convincing a kid should be no problem at all! ;)

I actually suspect it would be more difficult, rather than less, for her to convince her kid brother than to convince anyone else: TJ probably *wants* to believe his sister is LL. Having an older sibling, particularly one you already look up to, who is a superhero - how cool is that?!

Actually I'm mistaken. It's 3/31. So I guess it could be an April Fool joke. I've been so deep in writing and laying out issues 5-7, which take place in April, I forgot it was still March in issue 3. :)
